Reproduction of a cloth and wood model shows a Native American tepee. Tepees had timber frames arranged in a cone shape which were then covered with hide or other suitable material. A smoke hole was left in the ceiling and a doorway allowed entry and exit. A representation of a man on a horse is painted on the side.
